When the Ammonites threatened Jabesh-Gilead, Saul came to the town’s rescue. Years later, word reached Jabesh that the Philistines had hung Saul’s body on the wall of Beth-shan. The men of Jabesh traveled through the night, took down his body and those of his sons, and brought them back for burial. When David heard what they had done, he called it kindness. Saul could do nothing more for the people he had once helped. They still had something they could do for him. Who has done you a kindness you still have time to return?
“Blessed be ye of the Lord, that ye have shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.” —2 Samuel 2:5
